The Bourbon family of the kings occupied a larger part of the Old Regime in France.The period of Old Regime existed till 1789 and it was marked by tyranny and absolutism, legal inequality and feudal economy.The three Bourbon Kings Louis XIV, Louis XV and to an extent Louis XVI were responsible for the outbreak of the French Revolution.
1. Louis XIV has sowed the seeds of anger and resentment in society as he had emptied the royal treasure on lavish and frivolous expenditure and created the burden of enormous taxation on the third estate.
2. Louis XV destroyed the economy of France. He along with his mistress Jeanne Antoinette Pompadour,who became powerful in state affairs had ended a 250 year old fued with Habsburgs of Austria by signing a treaty. This treaty waged a Seven Years war with Britain and Prussia on one side and France, Austria, Sweden and Russia on the other.It proved to be a disaster for the economy of France as it shattered completely.It created unrest in the society.
3. Louis XVI could not improve the already deteriorating economy of France.To meet the regular expenses of the administration he was bound to increase taxes to a great level. This annoyed the masses and they decided to overthrow their rule.
